That's a great response. If the serve is fast and close then it is completely understandable to return it, otherwise dump to the bottom of the net or stop it and send it behind you.

I guess I'm guilty of that, that's an eye opener. I was doing it with the best of intentions, hitting the ball back to my opponent (the server) so they have a ball to serve with. I didn't think about the rhythm breaking aspect, I suppose. You learn something new everyday.

They are a bit frustrating to play against, huh? You take all the risks, and they take little to none, but get the glory when they win.

I was in a situation like this this weekend. A guy in my group got mad at a couple of people who were walking through the courts, although they had stopped for him to finish the point. I guess he felt that they had been disruptive for awhile, and his frustration got the better of him. The guys claimed that it's a public court, so he had no right to be too "intense." The guys were clearly newbies, and probably haven't really learned proper court etiquette. I'm not too sure the guy was…
I was in a situation like this this weekend. A guy in my group got mad at a couple of people who were walking through the courts, although they had stopped for him to finish the point. I guess he felt that they had been disruptive for awhile, and his frustration got the better of him. The guys claimed that it's a public court, so he had no right to be too "intense." The guys were clearly newbies, and probably haven't really learned proper court etiquette. I'm not too sure the guy was justified, or at least to the extent that he reacted, especially since it looked like it might be heading down to a fight. What do you guys think? Should people allow more leeway since they are public courts?

I think this is also a symptom of our instant-gratification society. Everyone expects everything to be quick these days. No one has patience and this game takes a lot of it.
